HENRY STILL IN THE HOLE.
The Supreme Court Denies Crimina
a Writ of Habeas Corpus.

II WIN VI IldOOtbS SOTPQS
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.A decision was
rendered by the United States Supreme
Court to-day upon the application of Will
lam NJ Henry, of South Carolina, for a
writ of habeas corpus. Henry is now a
prisoner in the Albany penitentiary, serv-
ing out his second sentence for the
offense of using the mails to carry
out a scheme of fraud an offense
of which ne was found guilty in the United
States District Court for the Western dis
trict of South Carolina on Sept. IL, 1886.
The prisoner maintains that under section
54S0 OF the Revised Statutes he could not be
LEGALLY condemned to more than one term of
imprisonment for. .offenses committed within
the same six calendar months, and that he
has already served out one term and should
be released. The court, however, holds
that his series of fraudulent acts
did not constitute one continuous offense,
for which he could receive only one punish
ment, and that the court had legal power to
sentence him to two or three consecutive
terms of Imprisonment for two or three
separate acts of fraud. The motion for
rule to show cause why a writ Of habeas
corpus should not issue is, therefore, de-
MED. The opinion is by Chief Justice
Waite,

or the reinsurance reserve, and that until
the deficiency is made good and the law
complied with they were forbidden to issue
policies or pay dividends either to stock
holders or pohcy-holders. The Continental
has seven agents in active business i'll Geor-
gia. Commissioner Wright at once issued
an order to the officers and agents OF the
company to suspend business in this State
until the deficiency had been made good and
the company reinstated in Connecticut.
Under the old laws of this State he would
have been powerless to take any action.

PARNELL'S DISGUST.
A More Feeble Government Never
Held the Reins In Ireland.

LONDON, Nov. 21.-Mr. Parnell, in an in
terview had with him to-day during fly
ing visit made by him to London, said:
Respecting the general situation, | may
say that in my Judgment more feeble or
inert government never held the reins in
Ireland, They are teaching Irishmen a most
disastrous lesson by their bungling inca
pacity teaching that the law may be sue
cesSfully defied; for the law, as recently con-
structed by the Unionst majority in the
House of Commons, is daily deted, and with
lmpunity, by thousands of members of sup
pressed branches Of the league and by every
Nationalist newspaper editor in Ireland.
In fact, one of the extraordinary results of
the coercion act and a firm and resolute
government is that for every offense against
the law committed before the passage of the
coercion bill hundreds are committed now.
leave it to you to say whether lrelands
respect for the Imperial Parliament,
the possibility Of her continued
government by the same agency
or the solidity of the Union is likely to be
increased, OF whether this administrative in
capacity does not render much nearer the
concession or such reasonable powers of self
government as Will make our people law
abiding, prosperous and happy"

the confidence of the Irish peasantry. On

a resolution expressing sympathy with
William O'Brien.
